Erlin Geffrard

Erlin Adones Geffrard (born November 14, 1987) is an American multimedia visual artist, and musician.

[6] He was influenced by the idea of "refugee" running throughout his work and life; his Haitian origin and family, upbringing in Florida and the underground culture in the Bay Area.

His work concerns the overlap of fine arts, commercial hip hop culture, and issues of class, race, place, gender, and religion through subject matter and material.

[4][5][7][8][9] As part of Philadelphia Contemporary's 2018 Festival for the People, Geffrard created banners, reminiscent of Haitian vodou flags, that were each dedicated to a different neighborhood in Philly.

The exhibition also included works by artists Michel Auder, Mel Chin and Rikrit Tiravanija.
